Chapter 2974: Lu Yin’s Methods

As soon as everyone arrived, Lu Yin immediately led them to the Ice Spirit Tribe. That was the only place where they could reach the Five Spirits Alliance and the Luna Alliance’s parallel universes that were about to be destroyed.

Lu Yin a.s.signed an opponent to each of the attacking captains based on the characteristics of the True G.o.d Guard Captains.

He himself returned to the Ice Spirit Domain, while Shao Chen went to the parallel universe that Ye Bo had been tasked to destroy to leave behind some evidence of a battle.

Far from the Ice Spirit Domain, the Ice Lord was still freezing the frenzied corpse. Sequence particles rose up from beneath the Ice Spirit Domain, merging with the Ice Lord's own sequence particles as both were constantly consumed.

Lu Yin arrived in the Ice Spirit Domain and saw what was happening. He quickly went underground to check on the Iceheart and then contacted the Ice Lord.

Even when the Ice Lord learned of Lu Yin's arrival, he had no chance to return.

Big Sis and the others were led to other parallel universes by members of the Ice Spirit Tribe.

...

In a parallel universe filled with flames, Dual Bladeform continued to swing and slash at everything. A creature made entirely of flames crazily devoured the surrounding high temperatures and was wrapped around the two knives.

"It's time to finish this! The Fire Spirit Tribe has no one to help them deal with the frenzied corpse," the blue-haired man shouted.

The pink-haired woman was happy to hear this. "This doesn’t look nice at all, and it almost burned my hair off. Chop it! Chop it!"

After they both spoke, the blue-haired man held the pink-haired woman in his arms. As their bodies came into contact with one another, they slowly transformed into two long knives. One was a s.h.i.+mmering ice blue, while the other was a s.h.i.+mmering pink. Both of the knives gave off a cold light.

The two knives slashed down at the same time.

The creature of flames was startled. It was a Progenitor-level Fire Spirit, but it was not a sequence powerhouse. The Fire Spirit had only been able to endure for this long because Dual Bladeform had not used their full strength. Before a full-force attack, the Fire Spirit felt the shadow of death loom over it. This attack was unstoppable, absolutely unstoppable.

At that moment, a ?arīra suddenly appeared and shot straight for Dual Bladeform.

The two knives’ slash was blocked, surprising them both. "What is this?"

Mu Xie emerged from the void. "Your opponent is me."

At the same time, in other parallel universes, the rest of the True G.o.d Guard Captains encountered their own opponents.

...

Xu Wuwei stood in front of Marquis Wu with a pot radiating a majestic amount of voidforce energy.

"The Voidforce Universe actually has the ability to support the Five Spirits Alliance?" Marquis Wu was taken aback.

"It appears that you are quite familiar with my Voidforce Universe. In that case, why don’t we see if you can stop me?" Xu Wuwei stated solemnly.

...

In front of Zhong Pan, Lu Qi grinned. "You’re quite the freak, with that physical strength. Still, you can't kill me! I’m the immortal Lu Qi!"

Zhong Pan leaped forward, his fist raised as he dropped down.

The Invest.i.ture of the G.o.ds appeared above Lu Qi's head, and w.a.n.g Jian's power erupted, only to be shattered by Zhong Pan’s punch. Once that attack was shattered, Lu Qi visualized the Fifth Mainland. "Come!"

...

w.a.n.g Xiaoyu stared at Qing Ping who had appeared. "I know you, you’re the Chief Justice of the Interstellar Supreme Court. You actually became a Progenitor?"

Qing Ping was similarly surprised. "I also know of you. You’re one of the Twelve Marquises of the Perennial World’s rear battlefield. When I went to the Perennial World to train and fight for Origin Matter, I learned of the Twelve Marquis. You were Progenitor Chen’s lover, and yet you betrayed humanity."

"Whether I was right or wrong, you have no right to say. Do you deserve to hold the royal scepter?"

"Can you endure judgment?"

...

In the middle of outer s.p.a.ce, an odd expression covered Big Sis’ face as she gritted her teeth in anger. "d.a.m.n it, Little Seven! You actually sent me to fight a dog?"

Woof!

"Why are you barking? Watch out, I eat dog meat."

Skydog became furious, and he struck Big Sis on the head with a vicious blow.

Big Sis’ eyebrows rose high. "You want to bite me? I’ll train you properly today."

Woof!

...

Mu Ji stared in front of him, a deep fear and utter disbelief filling his eyes. "Mu Ke? Why are you here?"

Mu Ke stared back at Mu Ji from a distance. "It’s been a long time, Mu Ji. The Arboreal Realm has been waiting for this moment for a long time."

Mu Ji's expression finally changed. "Why are you here? Has the Sixverse a.s.sociation joined this war? How is that possible?"

Mu Ke raised his saber. "Mu Ji, you left your name behind in the Arboric Scripture. Despite being one of Mu Shen’s disciples, you betrayed the Arboreal Realm, becoming the greatest traitor we have ever known. It’s time to clean house."

...

Lu Yin stepped out into the Ice Spirit Domain. The Iceheart's sequence particles were constantly being consumed, and he could not allow that to continue. He had no idea if this would eventually ruin the Iceheart.

He made his way towards the Ice Lord and quickly found him. The Ice Lord was not alone, as Lu Yin also saw the frenzied corpse that was constantly melting the sequence particles that were keeping it frozen in place.

Lu Yin frowned, as the Ice Lord’s actions were useless. This was nothing more than a temporary measure that would inevitably deplete all of the powerhouse’s sequence particles.

"Dao Monarch Lu, how many of these monsters do the Aeternals have?" the Ice Lord asked in a rush as soon as he saw Lu Yin.

Lu Yin's voice dropped. "Not many, at least, not anymore. Can’t you deal with this one, Senior?"

The Ice Lord felt helpless. "It’s body is too strong, and it can also resist sequence particles. I’m barely able to even freeze it."

"What will happen to the Iceheart if this continues?" Lu Yin asked.

The Ice Lord did not answer. Sometimes, silence was the best answer.

Lu Yin looked at the frozen frenzied corpse and slowly approached it.

"Dao Monarch Lu, what are you going to do? Be careful, as that thing is very powerful," the Ice Lord warned.

Lu Yin said, "Let me try something. I can't allow the Iceheart to be ruined."

The Ice Lord was left speechless. If he was forced to continue, the Iceheart would really be ruined, but he did not have any choice. What could Lu Yin hope to do? Just being able to escape from one of these monsters was impressive enough. After all, Lu Yin was not even a Progenitor, while even the Ice Lord felt helpless against the frenzied corpse.

Lu Yin approached the frenzied corpse.

Despite being frozen in place, the monster’s eyes that had been corrupted by divine energy still darted around. The frenzied corpse was staring at Lu Yin, its eyes blazing with a terrifying killing intent.

This was Lu Yin’s first time seeing one of these monsters up close. Mu Ji had mentioned that there were only a few frenzied corpses left in the lake of divine energy, but even a few more would spell disaster.

These things were able to resist sequence particles by simply relying on the fact that every single part of their bodies had been infused with and corrupted by divine energy. They were entirely red. They were not able to cultivate with divine energy; rather, it had transformed them into monsters.

Since this monster was infused with divine energy, Lu Yin felt that he should be able to deal with it.

At this thought, he raised a hand and touched the frenzied corpse’s body, instantly feeling chilled. The sequence particles were affecting Lu Yin, and he could feel that they would soon freeze him.

"Dao Monarch Lu!" The Ice Lord could not hold back from shouting.

Lu Yin took a deep breath and tried to absorb the frenzied corpse’s divine energy.

Not even Aeternus was able to control the frenzied corpses. They were nothing but killing machines, as divine energy had completely corrupted every last part of their bodies, including their brains.

Not even those who could cultivate with divine energy were able to absorb the divine energy that had permeated the frenzied corpses’ bodies.

However, Lu Yin was different. He did not actively cultivate divine energy like others. While he could absorb divine energy, he did not rely on himself, but rather on the universe in his chest and the star of divine energy that had appeared there.

He pressed his hand to the frenzied corpse's frozen body, and the dark-red star of divine energy in his chest tried to absorb the divine energy. There was no reaction.

Lu Yin stared into the frenzied corpse’s crimson eyes and then suddenly released his universe from within his chest. The Hollow isolated Lu Yin from the nearby universe, and it swept past the frenzied corpse. As the Hollow pa.s.sed through, it forced the sequence particles back.

The Ice Lord was startled. "Dao Monarch Lu, you..."

The frenzied corpse shook free from the freezing effect, and it raised a hand to grab at Lu Yin. The monster’s fingers were as sharp as blades, and Lu Yin had no doubt that not even he could block this attack. This was not even because of the frenzied corpse’s physical strength, but rather because of its body’s sheer durability. These monsters were so robust that it was hard to harm them even with sequence particles.

Lu Yin took a step forward, creating a field of chaotic time and s.p.a.ce. He stood beside the frenzied corpse, and the Hollow swept over the monster. There were only a few traces of damage, and there was not even any blood. Lu Yin was once again startled by the monster’s toughness.

Even Shaman G.o.d had been injured by the Hollow. Did this mean that the frenzied corpses were physically tougher than even Shaman G.o.d?

Divine power had completely corrupted the thing’s body. This was actually somewhat similar to how Undying G.o.d had sealed his own sequence particles within his body.

The frenzied corpse missed. After that, because it could no longer see Lu Yin, it charged at the Ice Lord.

The Ice Lord had no idea what Lu Yin was trying to do.

Lu Yin stared at the frenzied corpse, surrounding it with his own universe. A touch of Lu Yin’s divine energy struck the frenzied corpse, and suddenly, the monster froze. Its entire body trembled. After a brief moment, the bright red color of its skin, eyes, and hair that had all been corrupted by divine energy started to visibly drain way.

To others, it looked like the red color was fading away, but Lu Yin knew that the star of divine energy in his own universe was ripping the divine energy away from the frenzied corpse.

Sure enough, the power of his personal universe was different from other powers.

Most likely, not even Aeternus’s most powerful experts were able to do what Lu Yin was doing to the frenzied corpse.

The Ice Lord and other Ice Spirits stared in shock, watching as the red color faded from the frenzied corpse’s body. However, even without the red color dying its body, the monster was still mindless, as its brain had been corrupted long ago. It was still nothing more than a killing machine. It was a monster, but one that had lost the protection of divine energy.

Lu Yin retracted his universe and aimed a palm strike at the frenzied corpse’s back. The monster vomited blood, a deep handprint embedded on its back as it was blasted away.

The frenzied corpse had originally been as powerful as a Progenitor, though the man had only been among the most average of Progenitors.

A single palm strike from Lu Yin was enough to wound the man, and he would be helpless before the Ice Lord. In an instant, the monster was frozen solid, and Lu Yin shattered its body.

It was forbidden to anoint corpse kings to the Champions’ Stage, but this frenzied corpse was not a corpse king. It was impossible for a corpse king to have made a mistake and be punished by being tossed into a lake of divine energy, so Lu Yin anointed the body.

According to Progenitor Xi, all the frenzied corpses were human cultivators who had made mistakes after betraying humanity and joining Aeternus. Of course, this did not mean that none of them were Progenitor-level experts who had been captured by Aeternus, and Lu Yin could not know for sure. However, that did not matter. The people had to have hated Aeternus before their minds were destroyed. Thus, Lu Yin would allow their hatred to be unleashed by summoning them as champions.

When the Ice Lord saw the Champions’ Stage again, he was just as stunned as the first time. Not only that, but Lu Yin had somehow managed to destroy the protective red layer surrounding the frenzied corpse, and the young man was shrouded in a growing haze of mystery.

The Ice Lord stared at Lu Yin, feeling a great deal of respect.

"Dao Monarch Lu, what just happened?" The Ice Lord was quite puzzled. As a sequence powerhouse, even he had been helpless against the frenzied corpse, but Lu Yin had dealt with the monster so easily. This quite confused the Ice Lord. His cultivation far surpa.s.sed Lu Yin’s, and as for age, there was an even greater discrepancy, so why was Lu Yin able to easily deal with something that had been impossible for him to handle?

Lu Yin turned to look at the Ice Lord. "How badly has the Iceheart’s sequence particles been depleted?"

Ice Lord replied, "Don’t worry, Dao Monarch Lu. As long as they are not continuously consumed, the Iceheart will automatically replenish its sequence particles. Right now, what remains is still enough to keep the people within it frozen."
